Hi David,
I tried to reproduce the problem, but no luck.
Here's what I have now:
app/controllers/admin_area_controller.rb:
class AdminAreaController < ApplicationController
end
app/controllers/admin/backend_controller.rb:
class Admin::BackendController < AdminAreaController
def search
# search method using Content.find_by_contents ...
end
end
app/models/content.rb
class Content
acts_as_ferret ...
end
Search using the backend_controller works fine, which means the Content
class is indeed found. You can have a look at the code in the aaf test
suite at http://projects.jkraemer.net/acts_as_ferret/browser/trunk/demo
or via svn:
svn://projects.jkraemer.net/acts_as_ferret/trunk/demo
Am I missing something ?
Jens
